Straw-Woven Dragon Performance - China

Straw-Woven Dragon Performance - China

Bao Guanjin (L), an inheritor of straw-woven dragon craftsmanship, works with a villager to make a mini straw-woven dragon at Shuyuan Village, Huizhou District of Huangshan City, east China's Anhui Province, October 4, 2025. As China's Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, villagers at Shuyuan Village highlights their celebration with the straw-woven dragon performance. Shuyuan's straw-woven dragon has been listed as a municipal-level intangible cultural heritage that boasts a history spanning over three centuries.

The straw-woven dragon performance on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival has well blended cultural experience into sightseeing, which serves as a major tourist attraction this year.

Kabul Kangana Grape Storage - Afghanistan

Kabul Kangana Grape Storage - Afghanistan

A villager uses finished Kangana jars as molds to shape bowls for new ones in the northern outskirts of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, Aug. 25, 2025. The Kangana, an ancient clay jar to preserve grapes, has been widely used in the rural outskirts north of Kabul. This century-old Afghan container enables grapes harvested in the heat of summer to stay fresh until the following spring. A Kangana is an ellipsoid formed by placing two bowl-shaped compoents face to face, with no apparent front or back side. Once sealed with mud around its brim, the jar becomes nearly airtight, functioning as a natural "vacuum storage container." In some Afghan villages, the Kangana was once used to store peppers and apples as well. Today, with these vegetables and fruits available year-round, grapes remain as the main object in its starage.
